Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦱ has the Unicode code point U+29B1. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thex
are the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+29B1 to binary:
00101001 10110001
. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10100110 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+29B1, known as "EMPTY SET WITH OVERBAR," holds a specialized function within the realm of mathematical notation in digital text. This symbol is primarily used to represent an empty set with an overbar in various mathematical equations and formulas. Its presence typically signifies that the set being referenced is empty or devoid of elements. The character finds its application across diverse fields such as computer science, engineering, physics, and mathematics. While it may not have a significant cultural or linguistic context, U+29B1's role in mathematical expressions and digital text underscores the importance of precise symbolism for accurate communication in these domains.
